(10:36:41) [sasquatch]: LUGRAdio is a podcast show, that's recently
(read: last year) branched out into doing a live show
(10:37:03) [sasquatch]: it's very much a 'geek' event - kinda like a
LinuxWorld event, without all the corporate suits running around
(10:37:26) [sasquatch]: it's a good place to have a presence for
Fedora, as it gets our name out there, most of the main UK Open Source
'figure heads' are there

companies/organisations

CentOS, OpenOffice.org, UKLinux (ISP), SuSE (sort of), the UK Open
Source Consortium, and lots of other big names
